Fant examines the sermons of proto-reformers John Wycliff and Girolamo Savonarola, and he says that both figures went against the preaching of their time because their preaching was tethered to biblical doctrine and in contrast to culture (18:04-32:19).

Fant traces the history of preaching starting with John the Baptist and ending with Origen, John Chrysostom, and Augustine, and he believes these preaching never lost sight of the importance of God’s voice even though the culture had a heavy influence on their preaching (0:27:04-0:49:05).

Shurden is introduced as the Carver-Barnes Lecturer (00:51-06:25). Shurden’s lecture is entitled “The Southern Baptist Synthesis: Is it Cracking,” and he begins by stating that Southern Baptists have built a synthesis that began in the eighteenth century that is starting to erode (06:26-11:12). He states that the Southern Baptist tradition began in Charleston, SC, and that tradition had five characteristics: pietistic puritanism, Calvinistic confessionalism, quasi connectionism, church liturgicalism, and a commitment to theological education, all defined by order (11:13-18:10). Shurden then moves to the Sandy Creek tradition of Southern Baptists which was defined by its ardor, and it had four characteristics: revivalism, charismatic ministry, rugged independence, and strict biblicism (18:11-25:04). He then speaks about the Georgia tradition of Southern Baptists which was defined by local color, and this tradition was characterised by denominationalism and sectionalism (25:05-31:10). He then speaks about the Tennessee tradition of Southern Baptists which was defined by questionable honor, and this tradition gave Southern Baptist a sense of identity based on a fallacious history (31:11-33:18). Shurden believes that denominationalism won out and brought these four traditions together, but denominationalism is under attack (33:19-40:17). He believes there have been four stress points that is bringing cracks to the Southern Baptist synthesis, and these stress points are cultural stress, denominational stress, and financial stress (40:18-45:14). Shurden concludes his lecture by stating that the Southern Baptist synthesis is not breaking, but it is being reshaped (45:15-48:05). The service ends with a word of prayer (48:06-49:01).

Frank Stagg is introduced as the Page Lecture speaker (00:31-02:15). Stagg’s lecture is entitled “Universals & Codes,” and he begins by defining these terms (02:15-05:41). Stagg gives many examples from both the Old and New Testaments where believers have both universalized certain laws of God and also minimized other laws and commands, and he also says that figuring out what God commands for his people to do in Scripture can be a difficult task with what appears to be contradictions, even from the words of the same human author (05:42-39:20). Stagg uses Paul’s letters as an example of how to do proper hermeneutics, and he argues that the readers of Scripture must discern a writer’s prophetic voice and distinguish between universal commands and particular commands given in a certain context (39:21-49:30). The service ends with a word of prayer (49:31-50:17).

Stagg speaks about the wineskins of the present day, and one of the best examples he gives is theology and the thoughts of theologians (34:35-50:30).
